ROCKVILLE, Md., March 23, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Telvent (Nasdaq:TLVT), the IT company for a sustainable and secure world, announced today the launch of its new Distribution Management System (DMS), the most advanced network operations and planning tool on the market. As utilities mobilize to meet increasing customer demand and environmental obligations, Telvent DMS provides a wide range of real-time and simulation mode functions for optimal operational and financial performance.
Telvent DMS is a critical element of Telvent's Smart Operations Suite, which includes powerful, open and integrated systems for mission-critical implementation. Specifically, Telvent DMS enables utilities to more quickly identify faults, isolate them and achieve restoration, resulting in cost-savings and enhanced revenues. Telvent DMS provides customers with real-time data and options regarding energy delivery.
In addition, Telvent DMS enables distribution system demand response (DSDR) as a key approach to the reduction of peak power and the addition of fast responding spinning reserve. Through tightening down volt/VAR control, including flattening the voltage profile along many feeders, some utilities have been able to use DSDR to anticipate peak demand reductions of 5 to 7 percent.
"The distribution network is where a majority of utilities can achieve the greatest initial ROI in grid optimization," said Manuel Sanchez, Telvent Chairman and CEO. "With Telvent DMS, utilities are able to promote new rate options and plans that are best suited for each customer, while also turning their information into real-time business intelligence that drives smarter decisions across the entire enterprise."
Telvent DMS will be on display at DistribuTECH 2010 Conference and Exhibition on March 23-25, 2010 in Tampa, Fla. Visit booth #1502 to see a demonstration and talk with Telvent representatives about other Telvent Smart Grid innovations and opportunities.
